El Dorado 21 is produced near the equator in Guyana by Demerara distillery. The final product is a blend of rums, aged between 21 and 25 years and crafted using 100% locally sourced Demerara sugar. Traditional tools are used in the distilling processes including three unique wooden stills. The rums rest until maturity in 45 gallon oak casks.

So warm, so rounded, so very lovely! Very smooth vanilla notes.

A wonderful rum. Notes of dark chocolate, citrus and roasted coffee. A must try for anyone who appreciates rum, but in the long run its hard to justify the price difference to El dorado 15

This rum definitely impressed me. Very rich in nose - chocolate, caramel, vanilla and coffee. The body is full of a long finish. Perfect cigar rum.

Lots of people will say that they prefer the 12 or the 15, and I get that as for the money they are both fantastic choices however, the 21 is just better in my mind. Dried fruit, honey, cigar tobacco, and a rich nuttiness that the younger bottles lack.

OK, this is fantastic rum and there's no question about that. However, is it that much of an improvement over the 15yo to warrant the (extortionate in BC Canada) price point???
A complex and even intimidating choice for a beginner. Not burning, but what I'd call numbing palate. Oakyness can be clearly identified.
I was gifted a bottle of 21 y/o El Dorado. It was the 1st aged bottle I had tried. As a Scotch drinker (on the rocks or neat) I wasn't overly impressed, but still good. To me, the over 12 rums are very smooth but seem to lack the character of the 12 y/o. Not sure I'd buy it again for the $$$.

El Dorado 21 years is certainly one of my favourit rums. It's well balanced and has certain notes that I cannot find in other rums, so far. Fully recommended

Hits like an oak log but finishes like pancake syrup without the maple. Cant say its a giant leap from the other El Dorado products and therefore I question the substantial price difference.

Bottle: Classic El Dorado shape, which I really like.
Color: Beautiful dark mahogany.
Aroma: Vanilla, dark chocolate, caramel and a little wood.
Taste: It is soft, but too whiskey for me. I probably should have allowed the rum to stand more or drip some water into it. The taste was dominated by caramel and especially dark chocolate.
The aftertaste is long and intense.
Most reviews rate this rum very high, but I was quite (even given the price) disappointed. The color and especially the aroma greatly exceeded the impression of the taste. I expected a slightly sweeter taste. If you like drier rums, you will probably be satisfied.
Overall rating: 8,5 out of 10

This is one badass decedent rum. Rich and full scents of figs, prunes, chocolate and brown sugar. The taste is even better! A sweet,oak, fig-like flavor that is bold and unique. Almost no burn, a very impressive bottle that you need to have in your bar. I dare someone to try this with a Mexican coke and tell me this is a not an incredible rum root beer float . It evens creates a surprisingly full โheadโ. A very solid 9!
